Chapter 8 There is always a heart-to-heart conversation in the story

"Whew~" I don't know from which forest outside the city came the cry of the wolves, although for people of this era this is just a part of daily life, most of them just ignore the past in their sleep, but in such a night, there is indeed such a girl who can't sleep peacefully.

The girl awoke from her light slumber at once, reflexively curled up, her muscles tensed, ready for pain—it took five seconds for her to react. So she opened her eyes carefully, only to find that the moonlight was shining through the window, and she stared blankly at the distant moon, which was exactly the same as the moon in her hometown, so that she could feel a little solace even on such a cold night.

She stared at it for a long time, until she unconsciously touched her wound and touched herself—her left hand unconsciously stroked her tail, and then the wound that had just been cleaned and bandaged gave her a fresh ache, which made her gasp in the dark.

"Are you awake?" but this movement also alarmed the other occupant of the room, and Richelieu awoke from his sleep and looked at the girl.

The girl turned her head to look at Richelieu, she knew who it was, and remembered her name, it was like the only light in the darkness that it was impossible to forget, it was she who opened the girl's cage, it was she who lifted the girl to unshackle, and she carefully held the girl who was full of pain along the way, and finally she cleaned the girl's wounds and applied medicine little by little, the girl may never forget the look in her eyes when she did these things, and there was tenderness and kindness in those eyes, and some incomprehensible nostalgia.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the girl just turned her head to look at herself blankly after hearing her question, Richelieu was a little confused, so she put on the nightgown that lay beside the bed, walked to the girl's bedside and sat down, and asked softly.

"I ......" the girl opened her mouth and spat out the first word, but she had mixed feelings, and she didn't know what to say. She glanced up at Richelieu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her tenderly, and then looked down at her own shadow in the moonlight, as if something on the quilt attracted her.

Silence spread through the room, as if the quiet night had once again enveloped the two of them, until Richelieu smiled softly and uttered the words.

“…… True. She smiled and exclaimed, "Sure enough, you look like me." ”

Then the girl raised her head again, looked at Richelieu in front of her suspiciously, and expressed her dissatisfaction and inquiry at her smile full of memories.

Richelieu smiled and shook his head, "Speaking of which, you fell asleep after cleaning your wounds, and I don't know your name yet." I'm the battleship Richelieu, you can call me Richelieu, what about you?"

The girl looked at Richelieu with some complicated eyes, her lips opened and closed, but Richelieu did not even look impatient, she smiled softly, and then quietly waited for the girl's next words. So, after a long time of babbling, the girl finally spoke, "For a long time. ”

"It's a long time ago, what a good name. Richelieu said with a smile, "But for a girl as lovely as you, the name is a bit too heavy." ”

Hearing this, Jiuyuan frowned, and she looked at Richelieu with some dissatisfaction, protesting silently.

Richelieu laughed even brighter, "Isn't it good, don't look at your shadow blankly, and don't look at the moon with a wistful gaze—ah, of course, if there's a boy you like very much, then he might be attracted to your weak appearance." ”

"......" However, Jiuyuan only looked at Richelieu a little inexplicably, and did not react further.

So Richelieu continued to smile and look at the long distance—one second, two seconds, three seconds, four years, five seconds...... Thirty seconds later, her face suddenly fell, and then she sighed heavily, and muttered softly, "I really can't catch up with Mr." ”

"Let's get acquainted again. After adjusting his state a little, Richelieu said to Jiuyuan, "My name is Richelieu, and I am a ship's wife, and I am now studying with my husband in all aspects, and assisting him in his work. ”

"......" Jiuyuan was stunned for a moment, then took care of his appearance in a little panic, and then replied: "Hello, I am Jiuyuan." ”

"Hello, Jiuyuan. Richelieu nodded solemnly, looking businesslike, "I know you're confused right now, and you've been arrested and mistreated by the locals, so I think it's my duty to answer your questions in every sense of the word." So, if you have any questions about the world and anything else, just ask. ”

Jiuyuan, who had been a little overwhelmed, gradually calmed down in this atmosphere, and she looked up at Richelieu's sincere face, her lips slightly open as if she wanted to ask something, but finally gave up again. After hesitating for two minutes, she finally asked, "You...... Why did you save me?"

"It's very similar. But Richelieu's reply was not the answer asked, she looked at Jiuyuan's somewhat puzzled eyes, shook her head and explained, "It's nothing, it's just that you, like me, chose to be the first to ask this question." ”

"Like you?" asked Jiuyuan, a little confused.

"Ah, I haven't told you yet. Richelieu smiled gently, this smile was not the same as the one just now, there was no deliberate imitation in the smile, but with a pure warmth from memory, she said, "Like you, I am not a resident of this world, and after coming here, I was also captured by the aborigines, and was almost bought and sold as a commodity, but the gentleman followed the trail of the mob and found me and rescued me. He slew all the bandits, untied my terrible chains, calmly healed all my wounds under my threat, and led me out of the bandits' camp. When I was relieved and fell asleep because I had escaped from the bandits' den, my husband quietly did everything, and the first question I asked when I woke up was 'Why did you save me?'"

"And then?" asked Jiuyuan.

"And then?" Richelieu shook her head with a smile, her gaze looking to the other end of the room as if she could see through the wall, her eyes full of wistfulness, "you would never have thought of how Sir had responded to me at that time, for no one had been so kind until then." She noticed that Jiuyuan was looking at her with some dissatisfaction, so she returned to the topic with some apologies, "That's what Sir answered me then, and I respond to you today, 'Because I know.'" ’”

"Just because you know?" Jiuyuan couldn't understand, her ears swirling around her head, and her tail wagging unconsciously behind her because of the entanglement of her thoughts.

"Isn't it?" said Richelieu with a smile, "I couldn't understand this thought at first, and I didn't say it because of justice or anything, and it seemed like a matter of course for him to save someone, without any other reason, and without asking for anything in return, and I couldn't understand it for a while, until I see you today." ”

"Me?" Jiuyuan pointed to his nose in amazement, looking very surprised.

"yes, that's you. Richelieu nodded, "From the first time I saw you at the gates, I kept repeating one sentence in my heart, and that was to get you out." You are like me at the beginning, imprisoned by others, suffering terrible treatment, I can't let you continue to be bullied, because if that, I can't live in this world with peace of mind. ”

"......" Jiuyuan obviously couldn't accept such a statement immediately, and her tail straightened with thoughts.

"Don't have to struggle so hard to understand. Richelieu reached out and patted Jiuyuan's head gently, "You'll know about this kind of thing later." Now let's talk about the rest. ”

Jiuyuan nodded.

"First of all, the reason for coming into this world. Richelieu said, "You should have vaguely heard a voice calling you, so you responded, right?"

Jiuyuan nodded.

"It seems that everyone is the same except for Mr. Richelieu said. "Sir told me that the voice was a good consciousness in this world, and because the world was in a period of imbalance in the balance of power, that consciousness summoned some beings from other neighboring worlds who were willing to help others to calm the scales. So like you and me, and some of the people I know are called to this world from other worlds, as long as this time the matter is resolved, we will be sent back to the original world. ”

“…… Is that so? Jiuyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed dejectedly.

"Actually, I don't know the key points. Richelieu added with some embarrassment, "I can't understand a lot of what Sir said, if you still care very much, you can go and ask Sir yourself tomorrow, I'm sure Sir will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." ”

"Okay. Jiuyuan nodded, and then smiled a little at Richelieu, "Thank you very much for your rescue and bandaging, I will remember it." ”

"Well, that's it for now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Richelieu smiled at her, "Get a good night's sleep, and then get up tomorrow and have a good meal, after all, you have to be in good condition for further medical treatment tomorrow." ”
